Earlier today, Sukhpal Singh Khaira, a former member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), tweeted that he had met with the Governor of Punjab to hand over highly objectionable video clips of gross misconduct by a minister of the AAP. He also claimed that he had sought their forensic verification and asked if genuinely told, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, would be dropped by the cabinet or arrested. Khaira went on to state that he had definite information that AAP media managers were calling up TV channels, asking them not to carry sexual misconduct allegations against the AAP minister. Khaira criticized the party, stating that this was a way to hijack and intimidate media from airing the truth. It is worth noting that the AAP has a history of disowning its ministers if they are ever found guilty of gross misconduct of power. In the past, they removed a party member, Vijay Singla, who was found guilty in corruption cases.
